[xml] support for xslt functions in xmllint schematron?

["Gregor J. Rothfuss" <gregor apache org>]

hi,

the schematron implementation in xmllint currently does not support xslt 
functions like generate-id():

xmlXPathCompOpEval: function generate-id not found

there are quite a few schematron files out there that make use of XSLT 
functions. this is not surprising since the first schematron 
implementation was in XSLT.

it would be nice if xmllint could make use of these functions via libxslt.

the latest schematron spec formalizes this and has the concept of 'query 
languages': http://www.schematron.com/iso/P9.html#T44

i guess supporting these functions in xmllint would be a stepping stone 
towards query language binding support.

should i file an enhancement bug?

thanks,

-gregor
